A white Florida woman accused of shooting and killing her Black neighbor told investigators she had been threatened by the victim in the months before the slaying, according an arrest report released Thursday that detailed allegations of racist threats and physical threats to the victim’s young children.
The report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office came out shortly before Susan Louise Lorincz made her initial appearance in court Thursday by video on manslaughter and other charges.
Lorincz appeared wearing a dark protective vest, answered the judge’s questions about her finances but did not enter a plea. A public defender was appointed to represent her at an upcoming bond hearing.
In a statement to investigators after the shooting of Ajike Owens, a 35-year-old Black mother of four, Lorincz was quoted as saying she had problems for two years with children in the neighborhood not respecting her — including the victim’s children, who range in age from 3 to 12 years old.
